- Henry (Chords)

HENRY
New Riders of the Purple Sage
Verse 1:
G F G
Every year along about this time it all goes dry
F G
Nothin' 'round for love or money that'll get you high
C G
Henry got the truck and said he'd drive to Mexico
F G
See if he could come back haulin' twenty keys of gold
Verse 2:
Now the road to Acupulco is very hard indeed
And it isn't any better if you haven't any weed
Henry's drivin' hard and straight on twisty mountain roads
Fifty people waitin' back in Oakland for his load
Chorus:
D C G
And now he's rollin' down the mountain goin' fast, fast, fast
D C G
And if he blows it this one's gonna be his last
C G
He's gone to Acupulco, to score the golden keys
C G F G
Henry keep your brakes on for this corner if you please
Verse 3:
Henry got to Mexico and turned his truck around
Talkin' with the man who had it growin' from the ground
Henry tasted, he got wasted, couldn't even see
How he's gonna drive like that is not too clear to me
Repeat chorus
Verse 4:
Sunday afternoon Tijuana is a lovely town
The bullfights bring the tourists and their money flowin' down
The border guards are much too busy there at five o'clock
Henry's truckin' right on through, he hardly even stopped
Repeat chorus
